The ruling Patriotic Front has resolved to remove Acting President Dr. Guy Scott as the party’s Vice President. In a letter dated 16th December 2014, Edgar Lungu stated that in pursuance of Article 19 (c) and 61 (j) of the Party Constitution Scott has been removed from his position for gross indiscipline.
In an emergency meeting held yesterday at Lusaka’s Blue Nile Lodge, the Central Committee has now relegated Dr.Scott to an ordinary member pending his disciplinary hearing.
The move follows Dr. Scott’s decision to write a letter to the Acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda urging her not to accept nominations from the PF’s Presidential candidate.
The decision now means that Dr. Scott will be a mere party member pending his own exculpating with the Central Committee on why he should not be expelled from the party.
